Introduction Install the project runtime software on a Windows Embedded device Install the project runtime software on a Windows Embedded device in order to download and run projects on that device. The runtime edition for Windows Embedded Standard computers in called Embedded HMI. The runtime edition for Windows Embedded Compact devices is called Compact HMI. If the project runtime software is preinstalled on your Windows Embedded device, you may skip this entire procedure. Many device manufacturers preinstall the software as part of a complete automation solution.
Before you begin this procedure, you must have already installed the full AVEVA Edge 2020 software on your computer, because the AVEVA Edge 2020 program folder contains all of the redistributable files. For more information, see Install the full AVEVA Edge 2020 software on page 17. The following items are required to install and run Embedded HMI or Compact HMI: • A Windows Embedded-compatible computer or device (hereafter called the "target station"); • One of the following Windows Embedded operating systems: • Windows Embedded Standard:
• Windows 10 IoT Enterprise (LTSC/LTSB version only) • Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro • Windows Embedded Standard 7 Service Pack 1 • Windows Embedded Compact: • Windows Embedded Compact 7 • Available storage (i.e., hard drive or non-volatile memory): • 1 GB for Embedded HMI • 512 MB for Compact HMI More storage might be required, depending on the size of your project. • Available memory (i.e., RAM or volatile memory): • 512 MB for Embedded HMI • 256 MB for Compact HMI More memory might be required, depending on the size of your project. • An Ethernet or Wi-Fi network adapter. The following items are optional but recommended:
• A USB port; and • Serial COM ports and adapters, to be used for serial communication with PLCs and other devices. This is optional because many device protocols now use Ethernet communication (TCP or UDP) instead of serial communication. Installing the project runtime software is actually a two-part procedure. First, you will copy a utility program called Remote Agent to the target station; it lets you establish a connection between the project development environment and the target station. And then, through that connection, you will install the rest of the runtime files. To install the project runtime software on a Windows Embedded device: 1.
Turn on the target station, and then make sure it is connected to the same network as your computer. If Remote Agent is already installed on the target station and it runs automatically on startup, you can skip the next step. 2. Copy Remote Agent to the target station, and then run it: a) Locate the correct version of the Remote Agent program file ( CEServer.exe ) for the target station. All versions are stored in your AVEVA Edge 2020 program folder. Remote Agent for Windows Embedded Standard is located at: Page 22
